My father-in-law is an accountant and has 0 ability to comprehend aesthetics or the benefit of landscaping. I just don't understand that at all. I've done quite a bit of work in his yard mainly because my mother-in-law values such things...she gets excited, he could care less. I sorta find it amusing.
I have a master's in Environmental Science, so I usually can go off about the benefits of a nice landscape and its relation to nature (especially a concrete channel vs. a nat. stream). I tone it down depending on my "crowd", but some people just don't get it. I usually try to put myself in people's shoes so I can understand where they are coming from better, but again..some people don't get it (or I don't get them)--and that's ok! You just got to do the best you can and believe in what you say.
